Presort Unit

In 1980, State Postal Services began presorting the state’s mail through a presort bureau. In 1989, State Postal Services purchased its first high-speed sorting equipment and began sorting the state’s mail in-house. All equipment in the Presort Unit is state of the art with computerized optics that can read the complete address on a letter, match it to the U.S. Postal Services data base, spray the appropriate barcode and sort it to the correct sort pocket at speeds of up to 10 pieces per second. With the aid of this equipment, State Postal Services processes over 100,000 letters per day. By using this process and combining all of the state’s mail into one continuous mailstream, the State of Tennessee is able to take advantage of postage discounts offered by the U.S. Postal Service.

If you would like more information on postage discounts and how to achieve them for your agency, please give us a call. Keep in mind, that automation compatibility is the most important factor in the discount program, so call us in the design stages of your mailing.
